Chapter 10
When Chu Qing returned after eating, there was a box of walnut cookies on her desk. She stared at it expressionlessly for a moment, very much wanting to throw the thing in the trash.

After Qi Weichen entered the classroom, he followed her gaze and paused when he saw the walnut cookies on her desk: "It wasn't me."

"...I didn't say it was," Chu Qing mumbled, not looking at his face.

Just as she sat down, someone jumped up and raised their hand: "It was me..."

Chu Qing paused, and when she turned to look, she saw the Lackey who had just returned from outside grinning and pointing at the cool guy next to him: "The boss bought it."

Seeing her looking at him, Qi Muyang pretended to casually look away, but his eyes kept glancing at her.

Chu Qing was silent for a moment: "Why?"

"You got punished this morning because of him, so the boss felt really guilty and bought you a little snack. He hopes you won't be mad at him anymore," the Lackey, as Qi Muyang's number one sidekick, took on the task of explaining without hesitation.

Qi Muyang, who had been trying to act cool nearby, noticed her expression had improved a lot and immediately seized the opportunity: "I really didn't mean to, don't take it to heart. Walnuts are good for the brain, eat more."

Chu Qing: "..."

Qi Weichen: "..."

Even by the time the first class started, Qi Muyang still couldn't figure out why, when he had almost succeeded in appeasing her, he suddenly failed. He spent the entire class secretly glancing at Chu Qing, completely neglecting his studies... Of course, even if he wasn't glancing at Chu Qing, he wouldn't have been studying anyway.

Qi Muyang was like a silly cat who had done something naughty, looking furtive and thinking he was hiding it well. A hint of amusement flashed in Chu Qing's eyes as she found him increasingly entertaining.

In truth, she was just a bit irritable from having her nap interrupted, not really angry at him. But she didn't plan to tell him that yet. Tired and sleepy, she needed a loyal little slave to watch the teacher for her. Qi Muyang looked like someone who didn't learn his lesson easily, so rather than dealing with him now, she might as well take advantage of his guilty conscience first.

"Hey," Chu Qing glanced at him sideways.

Qi Muyang startled but tried to act nonchalant: "What?"

"Keep an eye on the teacher for me, I'm going to sleep," Chu Qing said and then put her head down.

Qi Muyang paused, grumbling unhappily: "Why should I..."

However, despite his words of protest, he was more diligent than anyone when it came to standing guard. At the slightest movement, he would immediately wake Chu Qing up, becoming the loyal little slave she had wished for.

Thanks to him, Chu Qing slept well through two consecutive classes and quickly regained her energy. The second break was a long one, with twenty minutes of rest time. After waking up, Chu Qing's mind was still a bit foggy. As soon as class ended, she stood up with her water cup: "Move aside."

Qi Muyang immediately made way for her. After watching her walk to the water dispenser, he frowned and poked Qi Weichen's back with his pen: "Hey."

Qi Weichen turned around, looking at him with cold eyes.

"...Don't stare at me like that," it always made him feel like he was having a staring contest with his dad, how could they communicate like this? Qi Muyang's mouth twitched, and noticing Chu Qing was about to return, he quickly lowered his voice and said to Qi Weichen, "Her temper is even more grudge-holding than mine. Since you're quite familiar with her, help me persuade her not to be so petty."

As he spoke, Chu Qing had already finished a cup of water and was refilling it to return. Qi Muyang quickly poked Qi Weichen in the back again.

Qi Weichen glanced at him, calmly stood up, and as Chu Qing walked past, he slowly began to speak: "He already knows he was wrong..."

Before he could finish his sentence, Chu Qing had already whisked past him without even a sidelong glance. The classmates in the back two rows who had been watching later reported that they only felt a desolate breeze blow by, and the scene was very awkward, extremely awkward.

A faint, indiscernible ripple appeared in Qi Weichen's eyes, and it took him a while to slowly sit down. Qi Muyang looked at these two with a strange expression, and after understanding what had happened, he genuinely cursed under his breath.

...So he had also made her angry, yet he was still blabbering advice to him. If he was really that capable, why hadn't he appeased her himself? Qi Muyang had a belly full of complaints about him, but seeing his straight and lonely back, he suddenly felt a bit sorry for him for some reason.

Tch, better to rely on oneself than on others. He decided not to seek outside help anymore.

As soon as the class bell rang, Qi Muyang started scribbling in a small notebook. Chu Qing, who was now wide awake, curiously glanced at him, and the notebook was promptly pushed in front of her. There was a line written on it:
